Description

Sb-containing P-type Cu2.856In4Te8Medium-high temperature thermoelectric material and preparation process thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of new materials, is suitable for key components and parts for medium-high temperature power generation with direct conversion of heat energy and electric energy, and is P-type Cu containing Sb2.856In4Te8A medium-high temperature thermoelectric material and a preparation process thereof.
Background
The thermoelectric semiconductor material is a novel semiconductor functional material which realizes direct interconversion of electric energy and heat energy through movement of carriers including electrons or holes. The power generation and refrigeration device made of thermoelectric material has the advantages of small volume, no pollution, no noise, no abrasion, good reliability, long service life and the like. In the civil field, the potential range of applications is: domestic refrigerators, freezers, superconducting electronic device cooling and waste heat power generation, waste heat utilization power supply, small-sized power supply devices in remote areas and the like.
The overall performance of thermoelectric materials is described by the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT ═ T σ α2And/κ, where α is the Seebeck coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity, κ is the thermal conductivity, and T is the absolute temperature. Therefore, the performance of the thermoelectric material has a close relationship with the temperature, and the maximum thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of the material is maximum only at a certain temperature value. At present, thermoelectric power generation materials for medium-temperature power generation, which have been applied to a small extent, are mainly series alloys such as Pb — Te-based, metal silicide, and the like, developed in the 50 s. The maximum thermoelectric figure of merit of the two is about 1.5, but Pb has great environmental pollution and is harmful to human bodies. The optimum use temperature for these materials is generally below 500 ℃. In the intrinsic condition, the wide bandgap Cu-In-Te ternary semiconductor material generally has large resistance, so that the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is not high, and the thermoelectric device for medium-high temperature power generation is difficult to manufacture. The main reasons for this are that the carrier concentration inside such materials is not high and the conductivity of the materials is low. However, the components and structural characteristics of some semiconductor materials with ternary chalcopyrite structures are special, and the semiconductor materials are not formed according to normal proportion, namely the Cu content in the materials is obviously lost, so that the materials have higher carrier concentration. Meanwhile, the semiconductor material with Cu deletion has higher use temperature, higher Seebeck coefficient and higher electrical conductivity under intrinsic condition. The thermal conductivity can be changed by proper element impurities, thereby greatly improving the thermoelectric property.
